Pathways to Progress: An ERG Roadmap
Description:
ERGs are championed as diversity drivers, but are we failing young leaders? While 90% of the Fortune 500 have ERGs, many workplaces exploit passionate new ERG members without support. This isn't just unfair—it's short-sighted. But companies neglecting ERGs miss out: robust programs boost retention by 34% and fuel innovation. This session will reveal a blueprint for effective ERG leadership to empower new workers, integrate ERG efforts into career paths, and harness technology to amplify results. Ready to empower your next-gen workforce and transform ERGs from checkboxes into DEIB powerhouses?
